When in Paris, it is so easy to enrich your life with art. This morning, we visited the Musee Picasso Paris which was celebrating the 50th anniversary of Picasso's death.
On the first floor, the exhibition featured work by American artist Faith Ringold. Some of her art incorporates painted cloth and quilting. Much of it features portraits of American civil rights leaders. Nicely presented.
